garrisoned by 8,000 men but after the decisive defeat of austria in the latecontestit was agreed by the treaty of prague that its fortifica tions uoiild he dismantled and he s-airi son withdrawn ihis stipulation was in sisted on by austria but the prussians have never carried out the conditions and mayence is at this moment ono of tho strongest cities in the world the four lines of works are greatly strengthened by outworks und detached forts and by fort weisoumi which is on the upper bank of the main the city of mayenco is opposite to the mouthofthe river which here falls into the hhiuo about tweuty miles west of frankfort to which it is connected by a railway a bridge some 1,090 feet long connects it with the forti fied suburb of castel it 1ms now a yery large garrison and is commanded by prince waldeimir of sehleswig-holstein rastadt is ou the right bank of the rhine and is very strongly fortified it is in the territory of baden baden and formerly held a garrison for the

walls there are three large forts on the little river which inns past rastadt which have many bas tions wet ditches curtains glacis and lunettes but the chief strength will pro bably be in the fortified camp which the prussians are about to form there should it be necessary to withdraw its garrison it could easily be replaced by baden sol diers the grand duke having shown the most unmistakable sympathy for the prus sian cause ehreuhreitstein is the fortress par ex cellence of prussia and is regarded as the gibraltar of the rhine it is on the right bank of the rhine opposite to coblentz it is connected with thisjtown by a bridge almost perpendicular ; but since it was ta ken by the french in 1790 and again in 1799 its fortifications having been treb led and quadrupled in strength and the entire hills has been turned into a fortress it has been thought unnecessary to scarp the steep sides though it is on record that a british tourist accompanied by a terrier made the
